Login with LinkedIn

To enable LinkedIn Auth for your project, you need to set up a LinkedIn OAuth application and add the application credentials to your Supabase Dashboard.

Overview#

Setting up LinkedIn logins for your application consists of 3 parts:

• Create and configure a LinkedIn Project and App on the LinkedIn Developer Dashboard.
• Add your LinkedIn (OIDC) client_id and client_secret to your Supabase Project.
• Add the login code to your Supabase JS Client App.

Access your LinkedIn Developer account#

• Go to LinkedIn Developer Dashboard.
• Log in (if necessary.)

Find your callback URL#

The next step requires a callback URL, which looks like this: https://<project-ref>.supabase.co/auth/v1/callback

• Go to your Supabase Project Dashboard
• Click on the Authentication icon in the left sidebar
• Click on Providers under the Configuration section
• Click on LinkedIn from the accordion list to expand and you'll find your Callback URL, you can click Copy to copy it to the clipboard

Create a LinkedIn OAuth app#

• Go to LinkedIn Developer Dashboard.
• Click on Create App at the top right
• Enter your LinkedIn Page and App Logo
• Save your app
• Click Products from the top menu
• Look for Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect and click on Request Access
• Click Auth from the top menu
• Add your Redirect URL to the Authorized Redirect URLs for your app section
• Copy and save your newly-generated Client ID
• Copy and save your newly-generated Client Secret

Ensure that the appropriate scopes have been added under OAuth 2.0 Scopes at the bottom of the Auth screen.

Enter your LinkedIn (OIDC) credentials into your Supabase project#

• Go to your Supabase Project Dashboard
• In the left sidebar, click the Authentication icon (near the top)
• Click on Providers under the Configuration section
• Click on LinkedIn (OIDC) from the accordion list to expand and turn LinkedIn (OIDC) Enabled to ON
• Enter your LinkedIn (OIDC) Client ID and LinkedIn (OIDC) Client Secret saved in the previous step
• Click Save

Add login code to your client app#

LinkedIn Open ID Connect (OIDC)#

We will be replacing the LinkedIn provider with a new LinkedIn (OIDC) provider to support recent changes to the LinkedIn OAuth APIs. The new provider utilizes the Open ID Connect standard. In view of this change, we have disabled edits on the LinkedIn provider and will be removing it effective 4th January 2024. Developers with LinkedIn OAuth Applications created prior to 1st August 2023 should create a new OAuth application via the steps outlined above and migrate their credentials from the LinkedIn provider to the LinkedIn (OIDC) provider. Alternatively, you can also head to the Products section and add the newly releaseSign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect to your existing OAuth application.

Developers using the Supabase CLI to test their LinkedIn OAuth application should also update their config.toml to make use of the new provider:
